Try These New Ad Hooks To Get More Leads
Here are a few viral video hooks and content ideas to get more views and leads:
- The “What It Takes To Win” hook frames success as a set of specific, learnable behaviors rather than vague ambition, making the content feel like a practical mandate rather than empty motivation.
Alex Hormozi uses this in “Do What It Takes To Win”, where the title signals that winning is conditional – tied to actions the viewer can actually take.
This hook works because it implies the audience is one decision away from a different outcome, which is far more compelling than merely telling someone they can succeed.
As a coach, use this format to reframe your content as a prerequisite to results rather than optional advice.
Here’s an example of an ad hook: “Here’s what it takes to make your first million selling real estate.” - The “How The Rich [XYZ]” hook positions wealth as a system with insider rules, making the viewer feel they’re being let in on privileged knowledge the average person doesn’t have access to.
Codie Sanchez uses this in “How the Rich Avoid Taxes”, where the framing implies that wealthy people play by a different set of rules.
This hook works because it exploits the gap between what most people assume and what the financially savvy actually do, turning a dry topic like taxes into something that feels like a secret being exposed.
Use this format to repackage complex or dry subjects in your niche by framing them as strategies the elite already know and the average person is missing out on.
Here’s an example of a title or ad headline: “How the Rich Use Life Insurance to Build Wealth” - The “Rags to Riches Through an Unlikely Path” format captures attention by pairing a humble or obscure starting point with a jaw-dropping outcome, making the journey feel both impossible and deeply human.
My First Million uses this in “He went from laundromats to a $3.5B Hollywood empire”, where the contrast between laundromats and a billion-dollar entertainment empire creates instant curiosity about how the leap was even possible.
The specificity of the starting point (laundromats, not just “nothing”) makes the story feel credible and cinematic at the same time.
Use this format to spotlight case studies, client transformations, or business origin stories where the contrast between the beginning and the result is the entire point.
Here’s an example of this format used as an ad hook for a fashion business coach: “Julia went from cleaning houses to building a $20M/ year fashion brand – here’s how.”
